Sell Your Home By Making It Stick Out From The Crowd

As a homeowner, the prospects of selling your abode in a buyers’ market can be more than a bit intimidating. At the moment, we are in heavy buyers market, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t sell your home. The key to moving it is all in the details.

The question you must ask yourself is what makes your home stick out from comparable properties in the neighborhood? You may have undertaken an improvement that results in an obvious answer. An improved bathroom, kitchen and so forth.

While a major upgrade is an obvious difference maker, many must focus on the small details of a home. Although small, they can make a huge difference when it comes to getting an offer or not. Consider the following.

If you have a rectangle concrete path to your front door, it is time to break out the sledge hammer. Such paths are blah and boring. Try to use brick, stones or something else to create a unique impression.

Once your potential buyer makes it to the front door, you want them to have a feeling of balance. This means you need to frame the door correctly. A flower pot on each side of the door should do it and provide a friendly fragrance.

Windows are another area where a little work can make a big difference. First off, cut away any plants blocking views unless the room is a bathroom. If the windows are unique, consider painting the frames a color that contrasts with the walls.

Trash is a fact of life, but should be seen as little as possible. Make your house stand out by installing vine trellis around where you keep your trash cans. Grow vines that flower on them to block any nasty trash smell.

I love a good trellis. It is cheap, easy and can make a big difference. One area it is invaluable is on homes that have a long, flat wall. This often occurs on the side of a home. Try installing a trellis or three and growing a small garden of vines.

When landscaping is mentioned, most people picture how it looks during the day. While important, don’t forget about the night view. Use lighting to create a beautiful lit landscape and then include pictures in your marketing.

A unique home sticks out from comparable properties and gets offers from buyers in any market. Make the above changes and yours will be such a home.
